House Of Cards returns to Netflix on Feb. 14, and this second trailer for season 2 is as ruthless as the first.

The trailer opens with Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) being sworn in as the Vice President of the United States. "One heartbeat away from the presidency and not a single vote cashed in my name," Francis says to camera. "Democracy is so overrated."

With more enemies than ever in Francis' path, and Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) and her journalism pals hot on his trail, these season 2 first looks are already as good, if not better, than previous episodes.

"There is but one rule. Hunt or be hunted," Francis purrs. "Welcome back."
